Became a Dark Merchant in the Academy

310.

“That’s why I told you not to follow me.”

Lotus Guild 2nd Infirmary. Cheon Yu-seong applied medicine to the wound on Isiah’s right hand and wrapped it with a bandage.

“But I also wondered why the lotus flower called. If I hadn’t followed him, that person would have definitely been in danger.”

“What do you have to wonder about? And if you get hurt, it’ll be the end of the story. It’s fortunate that only a few of them came. If more of them had come, you would have been in danger, too, do you know that?”

“That’s okay.”

Isiah laughed hehe.

“What’s okay…”

“There’s Yoo Seong-i. He’ll come running to you like always when you’re in danger.”

“…..”

Cheon Yoo-seong bowed his head.

His ears turned red.

Isiah chuckles at that sight.

“What? Are you embarrassed? I was just saying. It seems like Yoo-seong is more shy than he looks…”

“Be quiet.”

Cheon Yoo-seong pulled hard on the bandage he was holding.

“it hurts!”

“It’s a good thing you’re sick. If you don’t want to see me in pain anymore, don’t come with me next time.”

“No, I don’t want to. I’m going to keep following you. And if it’s this dangerous, I should step forward. Have you forgotten what our family does?”

“That’s not the problem. And this isn’t your family’s jurisdiction. I was asked to do this. So don’t interfere any more—”

“Are you still worried?”

“What are you worried about? I’m not…”

“…Last year’s dungeon incident was just an accidental incident.”

I know. Didn’t the professors, the heroes, and the experts say that?

So there is no doubt about that.

Just someone now…

“It’s not all your fault that Mari went back to her home country. So I don’t think Yoo Seong needs to shoulder everything. Don’t try to be too strong. I think you should lean on others when things get tough, and ask for help when you can.”

“…..”

Cheon Yoo-seong was silent.

‘Get out of the way.’

‘How are you going to get there? That’s a place you can’t go to anymore.’

‘Seonghyun is over there. Don’t disturb him.’

‘Please. Come to your senses. Now─’

I failed to protect what I wanted to protect.

It all happened because of lack of strength.

But now…

Isiah stared straight at Cheon Yoo-seong.

“I am the old Yoo Seong-i─”

“It’s so fresh.”

And at the moment when they were about to decide and say something, Seo Yeon-hwa appeared between them.

“!!?”

Isiah was flustered and flustered in surprise. Seo Yeonhwa snickered because she found that sight so funny.

“Sorry. I didn’t mean to interfere with your romantic relationship.”

“Oh, the dating business? I don’t think that’s…”

“Really? Then I’ll leave it at that.”

“no.”

“You know, the more you say it, the more credible it becomes.”

“I told you, that’s not true.”

“Yeah, yeah. I’ll do that. Oh, and I’ll hide it from you too.”

“That’s really not true…”

As Seo Yeon-hwa continued speaking, Isiah lowered her head.

Cheon Yoo-seong shook his head.

“We’re not in the kind of relationship you think we are, Master. We’re just friends. So please stop teasing Sia.”

“Friend…? Really?”

Seo Yeon-hwa looked at Isiah.

“yes…”

Isiah nodded slightly.

“You’ve had a hard time too.”

Seo Yeon-hwa shook her head as if she was dumbfounded by Isiah’s answer. Cheon Yu-seong tilted his head as he couldn’t understand the two’s appearance.

“Okay. It’s not like I care.”

“What do you mean?”

“You don’t have to know.”

“yes?”

“Okay.”

“???”

That was only for a moment. Seo Yeon-hwa opened her mouth as she looked at the two.

“I think I need to change my request a little.”

Said.

[So you were late yesterday and you won’t be able to come home at all today? Do you intend to keep your promise?]

Kyle shivered at the cold voice of his brother coming from the other end of the phone.

“That wasn’t my intention…”

Even if the meeting issue gets resolved somehow, how can it be your fault that you got entangled with that mutant mosquito?

But Lee didn’t seem to like that.

[Then explain it properly so I can understand. Where are you and what are you doing now?]

“sorry…”

[Sorry?]

“I don’t think I can explain it because of the circumstances.”

[What? What does that mean?]

“Anyway, I have some unspeakable circumstances, so please excuse me just this once. Oh, and don’t plan on going out anywhere tonight. Just stay home.”

I can’t explain the situation. It’s not just that I was silenced by the Lotus Guildmaster, but if Rie, who is worried, hears this news, she might come out and come find me.

Although the lotus flower provides coverage, it is the right choice to minimize the risk factors.

[…Is it dangerous?]

“That’s not it.”

True, but wrong. If this place is dangerous, then nowhere in South Korea is safe.

[Speak properly.]

“No, really. Trust me.”

[…okay?]

“That’s right. So wait at home. I’ll be home tomorrow.”

[I get it. I don’t like it, but if you say that, there must be a reason.]

“Thank you for understanding. I will definitely make up for this later. What would be good? Let’s eat some top-quality beef together…”

[No need.]

“Ahaha…”

Kyle scratched his cheek at Rie’s firm answer.

“Don’t worry. It’s really nothing.”

[I’m not worried at all. It’s just that without my brother… it’s a little difficult.]

“Haha. Okay, okay. Okay. Okay, see you tomorrow. Good night.”

[…You too, oppa.]

Kyle smiled faintly at Rie’s response even though she was expressing that she was upset.

After hearing the sound of a communication cut, Kyle threw himself onto the bed.

“I told you it’s cute.”

Although he has a violent side and is sometimes incomprehensible, isn’t it fortunate to have a younger sibling like that in an era when it is almost accepted as a semi-established theory that brothers, sisters, and siblings are designed to kill each other?

“More than that, why did those monsters target me so persistently?”

After that, Kyle, who had been rolling around in bed, sighed deeply at the sudden question that occurred to him and looked up at the ceiling.

He himself did not possess any strange items that would make monsters dazzle, he had never had any enemies, and he had not experienced anything special.

Plus, he’s just a common exchange student who isn’t even a celebrity.

As an academy cadet, he wasn’t exactly ordinary, but among academy cadets, he was average, if not average.

Common sense tells us there’s no reason for those monsters to be after us.

“…Is it because of the smell?”

Kyle, who was in deep thought, remembered the monsters’ howling and sniffed at him.

“It’s ordinary.”

Maybe it was because I ran hard and used magic hard. It smelled a little like sweat, but even though the Lotus Guild Leader called it a mutant mosquito, that monster didn’t turn into a mosquito and wouldn’t react to the smell of sweat.

If the cause of the sweat smell is anything to go by, aren’t there plenty of other people who would be more likely to target you?

Whether it’s people who work out hard at the gym or people who work out steam with others on the Hell Train.

“Um… Then, instead of saying it was a smell, you misspoke about something like a pheromone.”

I’ve heard that insectoid monsters react to certain pheromones and swarm around. Since they’re monsters, their vocabulary isn’t that great, so it’s quite possible that they got the words mixed up.

“But it was humanoid.”

I’ve never heard of humanoids reacting to pheromones.

In the first place, there is no way that such pheromones would come from oneself, and what are the chances that it is those monsters that are deluded?

Kyle is lost again.

“I don’t know.”

Kyle decided to put his thoughts aside for a moment, as no clear answer came to him no matter how much he thought about it.

Not only was my mind stuck on a problem that had no answer, but my body was feeling sluggish and my eyes were slowly closing, perhaps because I had been running around hard for the first time in a long time and had used magic to my limit.

Moreover, there are no risk factors.

Even if those monsters persistently target him, where is this place? Isn’t this the Lotus Guild building?

One of the top 5 guilds in Korea. There’s nothing these monsters can do to a top guild like this.

The same goes for his sister. The guild leader said he would personally cover it, so Kyle could rest easy.

“I should go to sleep…”

I was drenched in sweat and should have washed up and gone to bed, but I didn’t want to move anymore.

Eventually, Kyle was unable to overcome the oncoming water and closed his eyes completely.

**

Just as Kyle was falling asleep, the white-haired woman sensed a suspicious presence outside the building.

She immediately realized what that suspicious presence meant.

“We’ve already made contact.”

I told you to come back quickly so that this kind of thing wouldn’t happen again.

“Um… I hope it won’t interfere with the plan.”

It’s a quicker contact than expected.

I didn’t like this situation, so I wanted to keep him locked up until the time came.

“If that happens, many things will go wrong. Can’t we help it?”

The woman sighed.

“I can’t help it.”

There is no choice but to supplement.

Because the number of people addicted to drugs has not yet reached 1 million.

“Really. My brother can’t live without me.”

The woman smiled brightly.
